The one who keeps everything well stocked
has run out of so much and using Amazon Prime, 2 day delivery with trial program
and prices the same as market. Even ordered my coconut water and Ensure yesterday.
A life saver for me at this time....

Because of Beth my RN daughter I have been made aware of so much available to me
at no cost for 6 weeks. Everyone arriving is so nice and such a gift to me through this
healing process in my special cottage.

Also pain never leaves in shoulders and neck, no more cortisone shots because of tissue
breakdown and now affecting rotary cuff. So pain continues and I deal in the way I can.

I am a fighter
will carry on
as I am not ready to leave the earth at this time.

So many prayers and concerns for me
and can never thank all the special ones helping me
through this

Thank you
to all of your encouraging words
and this cottage is the best place for me....

Second emergency hospital visit.
All test repeated
Told, so healthy but sodium plunges
putting me in life threatening position.
Trying to regain strength and gain weight.
Snow and ice arrived
family could not get to me.
6 ladies, must be angels
have helped me through this.

So I continue on
trying to understand much.
Home therapy visits
with weekly blood test
and therapy to strengthen me.

About Me

This Journal is being written for my pleasure, my children and my grandchildren. Sharing some of my past, present and thoughts for future. It is the Journal of a sensitive soul who has entered her 8th decade. My life journey has taken me down a lot of roads with many twists and turns. It's not the journey that I would have visualized at the age of 25 when a third child was on the horizon. I love the warmth of the sun, sound of rain, a crackling fire, simplicity and elegance. Find pleasure in sitting on my porch with tea in a china cup and digging in the earth. I am more myself at this time of life than ever before. A considerable part of my past was in the business world, multi tasking and being super organized. Today I am trying to simplify and be more mindful. Also learning about this journey through aging and Sjogren's Syndrome.
It is not as easy as I thought, even though I have a lot of solitude at this time of life. My days fly by and I do not think I have enough time left on earth to do and experience all that is the desire of my heart.
One thing I am sure of is that I could not make it on this journey without my daily prayer and meditating time.
